Nine West

The women's clothing and footwear company said it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection to help facilitate the sale of its Nine West and Bandolino businesses. The company listed debts of more than $1 billion.

"This is the right step to address our two divergent business profiles," Nine West Holdings' CEO, Ralph Schipani, said in a statement. "Once we complete the reorganization process, our company will have meaningfully reduced debt and interest costs and be well positioned for the future."

Remington settled a class-action lawsuit in 2014 and agreed to replace the triggers on 7.5 million allegedly defective guns, free of charge. While Remington maintains that the guns are safe, the lawsuits linked the guns "to hundreds of serious injuries and at least two-dozen deaths," CNBC reports.

Brookstone filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in August. The retailer said it would be closing all of its mall-based stores, and it's looking for a buyer to take on its e-commerce business and airport-based stores.

Brookstone cited declining traffic to malls as one of the main reasons for its demise.

National Stores

National Stores, parent company of discount-store chains Fallas, Conway's, and Factory 2-U, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in August. It announced plans to close 74 of its 344 stores, with clearance sales to begin immediately.

The retailer blamed the bankruptcy on a negative environment for retailers, the costs associated with its Conway's acquisition, lost revenue from Hurricanes Harvey and Maria, and a 2017 data breach.

Mattress Firm

The company said it plans to close as many as 700 of its stores. Mattress Firm is currently considered to be the US' largest specialty mattress retailer with an estimated 3,272 stores across the US, according to Wedbush analyst Seth Basham. The company has increasingly come under pressure as new startups such as Casper innovate the experience of mattress shopping and take market share.

The company has since said it would close more than 220 stores. In December, Lampert, who remains Sears' chairman, submitted a $4.4 billion bid through his hedge fund to purchase many of the company's assets, including 425 stores.
